I think this is largely semantics. A "string bet" is when a player puts chips out, then goes back for more.

In this case, the player is bringing chips out, but only leaving a portion of them out there; taking the rest back. That is not quite a string bet.

By a strict, technical interpretation of the rules, however, this move is still not allowed. Unless you state a specific amount, any chips in your hand(s) that you bring forward represent your bet. Players...

We don't allow string bets. But we also have a "forward motion" rule. Whatever chips you bring out, that's what you are are require to raise, within the legal limits. I usually warn them once, "Sir, we have a forward motion rule, etc......" and if they do it again, it's a bet. Once they end up betting random large stack a few times, they get the idea.

For both string betting and forward motion, the best remedy is to announce you intentions before you...

wow, I don't know how anyone can consider this a string bet. Yes it would be nice if the person would announce a raise but this is not mandatory. A string bet would be if the person stopped and then started back or if they went back to their stack, but cutting chips in one motion is not a string bet under any circumstance. As a floor I would make the call that it is a raise every time.

I don't see how anyone could call this a string bet.

I might understand how some nit would argue that the whole stack has to be bet (i don't agree I just can understand how they reach that belief)

Many of our players in our N-L limit games do this when they bet. Also, we do not use the yellow line rule in our room. They come over the line with a handful of chips and cut out the amount of chips they wish to bet-no verbal is given. Most palyers are o.k. with this, but wev'e had many that argue that this is a string bet. Help!
